IntelliJ-based IDEs are known for static code analysis features. Today, we offer an MCP Server plugin for IntelliJ that opens the door for your coding agent to unleash the power of IntelliJ and spend many fewer tokens. Share what you would do with that, and it will help me to proceed with the project.

I'm looking forward to your comments!

Great demo, congrats. I couldn’t find a link. Is one available? I’d like to try the plugin and learn more about it.

My main goal is to collect scenarios and feedback. There is no public GitHub link yet.

Look at my posts X (@jonnyzzz), LinkedIn (jonnyzzz), and on jonnyzzz.com, e.g., https://jonnyzzz.com/blog/2026/01/04/mcp-steroids-intellij/

At this stage, I aim to gather more feedback before going public.

Great Demo indeed, looks promising, i just wonder, what kind of feedback you want to gather, if one cannot test?

How would you envision it being used with agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and others? What could be the project you'd try it on? Imagine I release it, and you are using it today.

Consider the example where the MCP plugin enables Claude Code to leverage IntelliJ's internals to work on the IntelliJ monorepo.
